DEVELOPING THE WORKFORCE

Accreditation of prior learningPractitioners may be able to build upon the credit gained from other universities and thus gain entry to a programme or reduce the amount of time required to obtain an academic award.

Accreditation is an umbrella term used to describe the formal recognition of previous learning. There are two categories within accreditation:• Accreditation of prior certified learning

(APCL)• Accreditation of prior experiential learning

(APEL)

The level and amount of credit approved is based on the evidence presented by the practitioner. It is important for practitioners who wish to receive credit for prior learning to discuss the potential for this before commencing a programme of study. To start the accreditation process, contact the relevant programme leader for your area of study. Following this an accreditation consultation can be booked.

For practitioners who wish to enter Level 6 studies but do not meet the requirement of 120 Level 5 credits, it may be possible to utilise a professional portfolio to gain direct entry to Level 6 studies by Advanced Standing. Criteria for the portfolio are available on request, along with tutorial support for portfolio development.

Postgraduate students may transfer up to 120 credits towards a Master’s programme, providing that the learning outcomes of core modules are met.

An information pack and funding form can be obtained from the Faculty’s Student Services Centre.

Our continuing personal and professional development (CPPD) opportunities are here to help you to achieve your goals, to work in new and innovative ways and to progress and develop your career.

Our portfolio is highly flexible to enable you to work and study at the same time. The range and flexibility of courses on offer is designed to support high quality care within a variety of healthcare settings, the development of new roles and skills, to develop clinical leadership skills and an underpinning for clinical academic careers.

Upgrade your career6


“ After completing an MA in Literature and Medicine at King’s College London, I decided to further my career by commencing a PhD in Nursing.

My experience of studying with the Nursing Faculty at King’s has been an amazingly positive one. I have felt supported and encouraged to continue with my studies to achieve my goal by all of the staff I have worked with. My supervisors and the PhD research team have always made themselves available to me.

They’ve always given practical advice and, above all, have shown faith in my capabilities when I have doubted myself. The nursing training and resources at King’s are extensive but, it is the teaching staff, with their world class academic backgrounds, who are truly inspirational.”

Rachael, Nursing Research PhD student
